Edit: Jesus Christ, people. If you buy a $150 Thinkpad made by slave labor instead of a $1,200 MacBook made by slave labor, you’re still supporting a capitalist economy based on slave labor. We all do. We have no choice. The number of smug liberals in the comments saying “well I buy a cheap used laptop” or “well I buy coffee beans and make my own coffee” are completely missing the fucking point.

Don’t tell yourself your consumption is moral. All of us make unethical choices every day because there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Accept your shame and guilt and let it drive you to do better.

You can use a Mac, and that’s fine too.

Not everyone is a Linux power user, get over yourself and your elitist computer ideology.

I use a Thinkpad with Windows because it’s cheaper and works better

If I want to use Linux I set up a VM for it to use for dev and IT busnasty

Or use what you have.

A Mac works just as well as windows, there is no “better”, only one’s preference.

Seriously get over yourself, instead of attacking such a minor thing as the brand of computer being used, focus your outrage on the system that treats the world like shit.

See you might have had a point there if Macs weren’t literally proven to be a shittier alternative.

Security classes don’t even teach about Maca because the only security advice worth giving to Mac users is “switch to Windows or Linux, it’s cheaper than anything that could be done to make this thing even remotely secure.”
